What does a Joe Biden win mean for the rest of the world?

He has vowed to restore American leadership after the confrontational and disruptive foreign policy of the Trump years, but the US faces challenges across the board ft.com/content/75592d… #bidenharris2020
Let’s start with Europe — what does Biden want to accomplish?

He is keen to rebuild the European alliances that Trump has repeatedly snubbed. Biden prides himself on his Irish heritage and will likely move away from Trump’s overt hostility to the EU ft.com/content/75592d… Image
What about the Middle East?

Biden, like Trump, wants to end America’s forever wars and plans a shift in US loyalties in the Middle East. He’s promised to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal if the country comes back into compliance ft.com/content/75592d… Image

How did Americans vote in 2020?

We gathered a large set of data to get a preliminary snapshot of how the US voted this year. Here’s what we found 👇 on.ft.com/3560bCT
The data indicate that Donald Trump lost ground with white voters, particularly those without a college degree — a group that was crucial to his victory in 2016 ft.com/content/69f320…

Polls suggest that this election could result in the widest gender gap on record:

🙋‍♂️ 50% of men are projected to support Donald Trump.
🙋‍♀️ 35% of women are projected to support him.

Here’s why: on.ft.com/3mO20ua #Election2020
Donald Trump had lost a significant amount of support among moderate Republican women and those who were conservative-leaning but registered as independent, according to Lorna Romero, a Republican consultant ft.com/content/419376… #Election2020
In all presidential elections since 1980, the gender gap has ranged between four and 11 points, but if the #Election2020 polls are correct, we can expect a 15 point gap this year ft.com/content/419376…

Donald Trump's presidency has fuelled Democratic supporters to do what some now call 'fundraging', with a grassroots movement that can potentially change political fundraising in future election cycles ft.com/content/ce5e24…
Democrats have raised a record amount of money in this election cycle: campaign donations exceeded $3.8bn by the end of September, which is almost six times what they raised in 2016 ft.com/content/ce5e24…
The record numbers mostly come from a surge in grassroots donations from Democratic supporters.

Democrats are donating small sums – from a few dollars to thousands – not only to influence the presidential election, but also down-ballot races ft.com/content/ce5e24…
